Understanding Your Dashboard
Posted November 20, 2025Updated November 21, 2025By Zak Kann
Your dashboard is designed to answer one question: "What should I do next?"
The Hero Card (Your Top Priority)
The large card at the top of the dashboard intelligently changes based on your status:
- "Connect GSC": If you haven't connected your data yet, this is your only task.
- "Continue Optimizing": If you have a draft in progress, we prompt you to finish it first.
- "Start Optimizing": If you are free, we show you your #1 highest-potential keyword opportunity.
The Opportunities Table
Below the hero card is a list of "More Pages You Can Optimize". This table is sorted by Potential Traffic Gain.
- Page Url: The specific page on your site.
- Keywords: How many high-potential keywords this page ranks for.
- Action: Click "Optimize" to start the wizard for that page.
Navigation Menu
- Dashboard: Home base.
- Keyword Opportunities: Detailed list of specific keywords to target.
- Page Opportunities: Grouped view of opportunities by URL.
- Rank Tracker: Monitor your progress over time.
- Optimizer Tasks: Kanban board of your active and completed work.
Common Questions
Why is my dashboard empty?
- You might need to connect Google Search Console.
- Your site might be new and not ranking for any keywords in the 11-50 range yet. Content Raptor focuses on improving existing rankings.
Can I dismiss the Hero Card?
No, the Hero Card is dynamic. It will automatically update when you complete the suggested action (e.g., finish your draft).
